Tight end Darius Terrell and defensive back Eryon Barnett both will transfer from the program before next season, the Longhorns announced Tuesday.

Terrell, a sophomore from DeSoto, had just one reception in nine games during his UT career. He was behind M.J. McFarland, D.J. Grant, Dom Jones and Barrett Matthews in the competition for a job at tight end.

Barnett, a junior from Euless Trinity, also played in nine career games at UT, mainly in kick and punt coverage. He was not expected to be part of the Longhorns’ rotation in the defensive backfield next season.

“We appreciate the efforts of both Darius and Eryon during their time at Texas,” UT coach Mack Brown said in a statement. “We understand their reasons and support their decisions. We wish them the best of luck in the future.”
